Leong Char

The weather is SUCKS. It is either very hot in the morning and raining heavily in the evening or the other way round. I try to clear off as many stuffs as possible in my fridge cos Chinese New Year is round the corner and I foresee I will start buying the Chinese New Year goodies in 3 weeks time from now. With so many 'Yee Ma, Ku Cheh' , every year we will be exchanging CNY gifts and it is coming very soon.

I tried to get rid the dried longans in the fridge cos I have too many of it. Almost every week I boiled Leong Char for the kids and Dearie Suki. My Leong Char consist of winter melon, red dates, dried longan and luo hon kuo. Drinking more Leong Char is good cos it helps to cool down our body.

Winter Melon cut in to small pieces.

Leong Char, either you drink it cold or hot, it still taste good.

Boiled Sugar Cane Drink

I was telling myself to make more effort and time to boiled Herbal Tea for the family but I never do so lately. The 2 big sticks of sugar cane which we get back from Raub finally cleaned and cut into small pieces.

Use half of it to boiled sugar cane drinks. Throw half of it into the slow cooker and let it slow boil for about 4 hours. Once done, test it and wow it is so sweet and you don't even need to add any sugar into it. Chilled it in the fridge and it is so refreshing to drink it on a hot sunny day. But too bad my 2 kids refuse to drink and still prefer their RIBENA!

Guess what me and Dearie Suki did with the other half of the cut sugar cane? In the middle of the night, while surfing the net, both of us chew and munch the cut sugar cane! So juicy and sweet. Good way to exercise our mouth muscle! LOL
